Your take from the Yahoo Sports Clip of Free Agents from:

Julius Peppers, DE, Carolina PanthersAfter bouncing back big with 14½ sacks this season, it’s extremely unlikely Peppers is going anywhere, particularly after the Panthers saw what happened to the Kansas City Chiefs’ front line when it dealt Jared Allen. Peppers will sign a massive deal, or the Panthers will retain him with the franchise tag.

Jordan Gross, OT, Carolina Panthers

There has been some thought that Carolina can’t afford to keep both Gross and Peppers, especially considering they’re arguably the best free agent talent at “premium” positions. The reality is that Carolina likely can’t keep Gross, Peppers and quarterback Jake Delhomme, who will have a reported $11 million cap number next season. Smart money says the Panthers franchise Peppers and get a deal with Gross done before free agency begins, then either cut Delhomme or dramatically rework his deal.

Please GOD do the last part in RED.... PLEASE:D

Pepp was spotted at Denver Nuggets games all last year, so draw your own conclusions...

We can't afford to lose Gross IMO. Delhomme is a different story...

I was actually thinking we could deal him to the Broncos...We would never have to play him and they have pretty good draft position if they are willing to trade their first...it is best case scenario in my opinion with him not wanting to be here anymore.

Peppers is not as good as Jared Allen - I would take him over Pep. That is just my opinion. Plus the Panthers have alot more overall talent on their team and are not the Chiefs. They will not become the Chiefs without Peppers on the rost. I am going to trust Fox and Hurney on this decision with Peppers.

Let yahoo and all the other pundents prop and pump up Pep. That will just increase the asking price when the Panthers trade him.

My gut tells me take the picks + the 17 million and improve the defense that way. Again, I will trust Fox and Hurney on this one.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
